Support services over the Christmas break
Many students may decide to stay in Lincoln over the break, because they may not be able to get home, have commitments which require them to stay in the city, or simply because this is their home.
A number of support services and activities will be available to those staying over the university festive break, which runs from Monday 18 December 2023 until Sunday 7 January 2024.
